Madhya Pradesh Formation Day is not a widely celebrated holiday, but it holds historical and cultural significance for the people of Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh has a rich culinary heritage, and to celebrate Madhya Pradesh Formation Day, you can enjoy some traditional foods from the state.

1. Poha: Poha is a popular breakfast dish in Madhya Pradesh and many parts of India. It is made from flattened rice cooked with spices, mustard seeds, and curry leaves and often garnished with peanuts and coriander leaves. Poha is light, flavourful, and makes for a delicious and quick meal.

2. Dal Bafla: Dal Bafla is a traditional dish of Madhya Pradesh and is quite similar to the well-known dish Dal Baati from Rajasthan. It consists of steamed wheat-flour dumplings called "bafla" served with a spicy, thick lentil curry known as "dal." It's a hearty and wholesome dish loved for its rustic flavours.

3. Bhopali Gosht Korma: Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh, is known for its unique Mughlai-inspired cuisine. Bhopali Gosht Korma is a rich and aromatic meat dish, typically made with mutton or chicken. The meat is slow-cooked in a flavourful gravy made with yoghurt, cream, and a blend of aromatic spices. It's a royal and indulgent dish that reflects the culinary diversity of the state.
